The Persuader released in the late 80's. Came with the only Canadian-born Joe, Backstop.

The one you pictured is missing the large main laser cannon from the turret, a smaller swiviling laser cannon that goes behind the cockpit and 6 yellow missiles (3 go on each side on the rear where it looks kind of like a ladder.

Thanks for the info!  I knew it had to be missing more than just a small piece or two.  My wife decided it fits her mental concept of a Cellic vehicle, so I'll be putting one on the list of things to get and customize.

I always thought that vehicle looked like a SW/GI Joe mash up, much more so than the BF 2000 stuff even.  It's cool though.
